The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)<\/strong> is investigating four suspicious packages that were sent to\u00a0Toyota Motor Corp U.S. facilities\u00a0in the past week that were later found not to contain threatening.<\/p>\n

“This package is similar to other suspicious packages mailed to our corporate office in <\/em>Erlanger<\/em>, <\/em>Kentucky<\/em>, on Friday and our <\/em>West Virginia<\/em> and <\/em>Texas<\/em> plants on Monday. All of these packages were found to be non-threatening,”<\/em> Toyota<\/strong> spokeswoman Kelly Dillon<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

It bore a handwritten originating address from Nigeria, just like the other three packages, said Gibson County Chief Deputy Sheriff George Ballard<\/strong>. A postal inspector called it a “hoax device,” Princeton police detective Sgt. Mike Hurt<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n

The automaker evacuated its North American manufacturing headquarters in <\/strong>Kentucky<\/strong> on Friday after a suspicious package was found in the mailroom. The brief evacuation ended after officers determined the package was not a threat. Similar packages were also delivered to Toyota plants in\u00a0West Virginia\u00a0and Texas but neither of the two plants conducted evacuation procedures. The fourth package was intercepted at a post office in Princeton<\/strong>, <\/strong>Indiana<\/strong>, near a <\/strong>Toyota<\/strong> manufacturing plant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The <\/strong>Princeton<\/strong> incident is being investigated by the FBI, the Indiana State Police<\/strong> and the postal inspector in Evansville<\/strong>, state police spokesman Sgt. Todd Ringle<\/strong> said. He said he could not discuss details of the investigation.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong> said the\u00a0FBI\u00a0had been investigating the incidents since Friday and Toyota was not calling the incidents threats.<\/p>\n

“For all we know, it could be that these packages were legitimate attempts to contact Toyota.”<\/em> Mike Goss added.<\/p>\n
